From Nov 2019 to Nov 2024
Trex Company, Inc. (NYSE: TWP), manufacturer and distributor of Trex® decking, railing, fencing and trim, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Net sales for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $67.7 million compared to net sales of $119.5 million for the 2008 first quarter. The Company reported a net loss for the 2009 first quarter of $3.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.5 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008.
On January 1, 2009, Trex adopted FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion.” The adoption of the pronouncement, which requires retrospective application, resulted in the recognition of $1.6 million of additional non-cash interest expense, an $0.11 EPS reduction, in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $1.4 million, a $0.10 EPS reduction, in the first quarter of 2008. The Company expects to recognize total non-cash interest expense of approximately $6.8 million for the year ending December 31, 2009 compared to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
President and CEO Ronald W. Kaplan commented, “As anticipated, we experienced a significant shift in purchasing patterns in the first quarter as customers ordered more based on pull-through demand and held inventories lower than in past years due to the tough economy. We continue to expect increased pull-through demand in the spring and summer months, which will shift a larger proportion of our sales activity into the second and third quarters of 2009.
“While our intense, company-wide focus on enhancing Trex’s operations resulted in improved manufacturing yields and lower costs, the positive gross margin impact of these improvements and the price increases that went into effect at the beginning of 2009 were offset by lower levels of capacity utilization. During the quarter, our operating cash flow was strong. We ended the period with a cash balance of $19.5 million and have not needed to utilize the revolver since May 2008. We are therefore quite pleased with the execution of our cash management strategy.
“During the quarter, we began the launch of several new products and will complete this effort by the end of June. This includes our expanded Trex Artisan Series Railing®, whose modular construction gives consumers the flexibility to mix and match colors and styles to achieve their optimal design. Our new introductions include decorative balusters, a charcoal black railing system and a graspable handrail system that meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We are also in the process of introducing our new, easy-to-install privacy fencing product, Trex Surroundings™, targeted to the do-it-yourself segment of the market.
“Innovative products such as these are helping Trex increase our already-leading market share and position us to thrive once the economy improves. Over the past several months, we have won key customers, expanded our presence throughout the U.S., and extended our category position in Canada. We are especially excited about launching Trex Profiles™, a new deep-grained board with a structured profile that represents an exceptional value to consumers, with a major home improvement retailer in the West Coast.
“New customers have been converted by the added value Trex provides across our product portfolio as well as by our technical, marketing, customer support and inventory management practices. Trex’s financial strength is another key differentiator since distributors and dealers are eager to align themselves with companies they can count on to be here when the economic downturn is over.”
Mr. Kaplan continued, “Turning now to our guidance for the second quarter – the shift in purchasing patterns is now clearly evident. Based on the order flow we are seeing, we expect net sales to approximate $85 million for the second quarter.”
